voice | action for Mahogany | backdated a few days

[show_my_cannons]

Here.

Made it.

[He sounds... groggy almost. Like he's just witnessed something horrible and terrifying and loathsome all rolled into one.]

[There's a pause, before he thinks to mention where it is he's even ended up.]

... Mahogany. Made it to Mahogany.

[Ironhide, you'd better sit down. You don't sound so good.]

Where is the Mason girl.

[colorsofthewind]

Her name is Lightning.

I suppose I don't need to warn you that this will be dangerous.

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

It's a good look for you.

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

...


You are traveling with her. Right?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Never heard of her.

No. There is no need. Better something dangerous than moping about.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

She's a soldier as well. Actually, I think the two of you are somewhat alike.

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

They're my family, of course I am.

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

[It's at that point he peers very closely at the video. At... Henry's surroundings...]

Heh.

Of course you are.

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry just gives him a stinkface.]

[Meanwhile, behind him, it's easy to see that he's standing outside of a little Legendary Dog-themed cafe. A curl of smoke from his lit cigarette wafts in and out of the frame.]</sub>

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Huh.

Wonder how I missed that.

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

...

Nice place.

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's stinkface intensifies. WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?]}

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

Think it is... just around the corner.

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The photographer's expression flatlines. Oh.]}

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

What, meeting her?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. That.

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

You want to rethink that comment about my face?

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry quickly steels his nerve and sets his jaw.]}

No.

_{[He was destined to take down a god. He could stand up to a buttface robot.]}

[ video]

[show_my_cannons]

As you wish.

[STOMP STOMP...]

[Here he comes.]

[ video]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[AND LO. DAVID STOOD HIS GROUND BEFORE GOLIATH. AND PUFFED HIS KOFFING BRAND CIGARETTE.]

[Bring it, grandpa.]</sub>

voice;

[heartdive]

Did you guys have a place planned to meet up?

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Just... this town.

[show_my_cannons]

[He's going to march right up to him. And loom. Arms folded.]

[Well.]

[Hello kid.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry chokes a little on his own smoke but doesn't recoil or step out of Ironhide's shadow. He's been psyching himself up for this very moment for months.]}

Now what?

[show_my_cannons]

[He's going to try and yank Henry up by the collar of his shirt, that's what.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry lets out a squawk and starts fighting back, digging his blunt little fingernails and TEETH into the old soldier's arms not unlike a raccoon being lifted out of a trash can.]}
